<p>Specify a postSolution global section in Visual Studio.</p>
<p>Setting a property like this generates an entry of the following form
in the solution file:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>GlobalSection(&lt;section&gt;) = postSolution
  &lt;contents based on property value&gt;
EndGlobalSection
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The property must be set to a semicolon-separated list of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">key=value</span></code>
pairs.  Each such pair will be transformed into an entry in the
solution global section.  Whitespace around key and value is ignored.
List elements which do not contain an equal sign are skipped.</p>
<p>This property only works for Visual Studio 9 and above; it is ignored
on other generators.  The property only applies when set on a
directory whose <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMakeLists.txt</span></code> contains a <span class="target" id="index-0-command:project"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/project.html#command:project" title="project"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">project()</span></code></a> command.</p>
<p>Note that CMake generates postSolution sections <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExtensibilityGlobals</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExtensibilityAddIns</span></code> by default.  If you set the corresponding
property, it will override the default section.  For example, setting
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">VS_GLOBAL_SECTION_POST_ExtensibilityGlobals</span></code> will override the default
contents of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExtensibilityGlobals</span></code> section, while keeping
ExtensibilityAddIns on its default.  However, CMake will always
add a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SolutionGuid</span></code> to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExtensibilityGlobals</span></code> section
if it is not specified explicitly.</p>
